Cool Halloween costume ideas you have in your closet


 

Check these out, too...

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • Book series you've gotta start this summer
  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
For a girl-on-the-go, a Halloween costume can sometimes be the last thing on your mind. So what’s a gal to do when your best buds invite you to a Halloween bash and you don’t have a costume to throw on? Check out these easy yet adorable costumes that’ll keep you stress-free and ready for fright night.

 

Rosie the Riveter

Harness your inner girl power with this Halloween DIY. Grab a denim button down, roll up the sleeves, pull your hair back, and wrap a red polka-dot handkerchief (Hint: No kerchief?  Snag some red & white polka dot fabric at your local fabric store.) around your locks to create this signature look. Add a little red lipstick and don’t forget to show a little muscle!

 

Try:
 

Twill Roll Shirt in Ink Blue, $23, oldnavy.com

 

Tutti Fruitti Collection, Small Polka Dot Red/White, joann.com



NYX Round Case Lipstick in Electra, $4, ulta.com

 

Where’s Waldo

Be the hardest to spot this Halloween when you dress up as our old friend, Waldo, or shall I say Wenda? Have fun with this one as you pair red stripes with jeans & funky glasses.

 

Try:
 

Mossimo Supply Co. Striped Shirt, $10, target.com



Elope Where’s Waldo Beanie Hat, $10, villagehatshop.com



Tort-ally awesome frames, $10, claires.com


Katniss Everdeen

Dress in all black and don’t forget the combat boots when you step into the arena for Halloween. Pull your hair back with Ms. Everdeen’s so-cinchy side braid and you’re ready to take on any district trying to snag your candy. Extra points if you can score a Mockingjay pin!

 

Try:

 

T-shirt, $10, hm.com

 

Cotton Poplin Cargo Pants, $35, sears.com

 

Black Swan

It’s like being a ballerina, but ten times cooler. The black swan is fierce--with this costume idea you’ll be sure to grab the attention of every trick-or-treater out there. Pair black leo and tutu with a tiara, intense eye makeup and don’t forget to pile your hair into a perfect ballerina bun!

 

Try:

 

Short sleeve scoop neck leotard, $14, dancewearsolutions.com

 

Black Tutu, $14, claires.com



Pretty Swirls Tiara, $6, claires.com

I'm gonna be a 1950's girl. My entire costume was made from pieces in my closet and only cost 10 bucks!

My friend and I are going as witches this year, but these are some really great ideas! Definitely going to have to try one of these sometime. I also saw a really cool article on Rookie Mag about how to make a board game character into a costume. So on my Halloween to-do list I have Princess Lolly, Scarlet, Katniss, Rosie the Riveter, and Waldo! These next few years should be interesting...Laughing

My friend told me to be Rosie the Riveter, but I really didn't know how to dress as her. The costumes you can buy look NOTHING like her. This really helped me. Thanks GL!!!!

Me and my buds are going as The Beatles! We all found our costumes at a thrift store and my costume's total was only $7!
